Novellista Vanilla Club is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Leslie Girard. Vanilla Club opens with Clove, Tobacco, and Dried Fruits, settles into a heart of Cacao Pod, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Honey, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Novellista's Vanilla Club carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast, eliciting both adoration and outright repulsion. If you're after a budget-friendly alternative to a certain iconic tobacco-vanilla, you might just find your new obsession, but be warned, some find it utterly sickening.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature make it unsuitable for most office environments, but it shines on dates and formal occasions. The cozy, warm accords also make it a fine choice for casual evenings, though definitely not for sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Vanilla Club opens with a robust, spicy hit of clove and a rich, dried fruit sweetness, immediately followed by a pronounced tobacco note. As it settles, a creamy vanilla and tonka bean heart emerges, intertwined with warm honey and a subtle undertone of cacao, evolving into a sweet, amber-rich warmth that lingers beautifully.
